Spoilers!!!!! Game Of Thrones S7 Episode 2 “Stormborn”

So lets recap episode 2 season 7! Again this will contain spoilers. Daenerys plots with Varys and Tyrion and members of the Tyrell’s, Martell’s and Greyjoy’s about how best to take the seven kingdoms. Daenerys questions Varys loyalty, because of his involvement in her attempted murder by Robert Baratheon while she was still on Essos and Robert Baratheon was less dead than he is now. Varys reveals he is and always will be on the side of the people of the seven kingdoms. The red women Melisandre appears at Dragonstone advises Daenerys to talk to the new king in the north John Snow, a raven is sent to summon John Snow. John is skeptical about going, as it could be a trap. Meanwhile in the south the new Queen of the seven kingdoms Cersei Lannister try’s to convince the Lords that Daenerys and her unsullied army will destroy the way of life in Westeros and they should back her against the Mother of Dragons Who is there but Sam Tarly’s dad! Jaime asks him to back the Lannisters and he will make it worth his while, he will make him warden of the south, he’s not giving him his gold hand. Jorah Moremont is being examined by the arch maester and Sam, he’s told it's not looking good for him, and in a couple of days, he will be shipped out to live his days with the stonemen.

Back on Dragonstone Daenerys and members of the Tyrell’s, Martell’s and Greyjoy’s about how best to take the seven kingdoms, apparently this will be by using soldiers from Westeros and not the armies of Essos. We also find out Grey worm’s weakness is its Missandre, they share a nice steamy moment together before he leaves to take the Lannister seat of power, will this be the last time we see them together? Let's hope not as they make a lovely couple. Sam the busy guy that he is, finds a way to cure Jorah, but is warned that it is too dangerous… but does it anyway for Jorah’s dad was Lord Commander of the Nights Watch and Sam feels like he owes Jorah and shouldn’t let him die. Arya meets good old Hot pie in and lets her know about John Snow being king in the north and the Bolton’s being dead, but will she head north to Winterfell or south to kill Cersei? Sam not only finding a cure for greyscale but finds the location of the dragonglass…. Unsurprisingly on Dragonstone (it's in the name). John Snow finally persuades the Lords and Ladies of the north that he must be the one to meet Daenerys (waiting a while for this meeting!) he leaves the north to Sansa, much to Littlefingers pleasure. To finish this episode we see a family reunion of sorts as Euron catches up with his niece Yara and nephew Theon, after a brutal battle captures Yara and the Dornish paramour Ellaria who rules Dorn and one of her daughters `(the other two sandsankes are dead), while Theon has a reek moment and jumps overboard saving himself. Where does this leave Daenerys in her plans to rule Westeros and will this victory please Queen Cersei?

A seemingly unlikely source of humour, this dark comedy
takes a look at the final days of the "Great Terror" and the chaotic
aftermath of Stalin's death, when his closest allies in the party begin
jockeying for power. The film treads a fine line between horror and comedy. In
the early scenes we see an orchestral performance that is going out live over
the radio. When Stalin sends a message to say he would like a recording of the
night's concert, which they have failed to record, the technicians are forced
to recreate the entire show again from the beginning. It is hilarious to see
them persuading the orchestra to begin again, and taking random members of the
public off the street to fill out the audience, some of whom have already
departed, but at the same time terrifying to think that the people were living
in so much fear of this dictator. Similarly in the high commands talks of
"disappearances" of certain people there is a sense of laughing
through grit…

"mother!" is a film that is best experienced
knowing as little as possible about it going in. This review will give away
major story points and discuss the plot, themes and interpretations of the
film, so if you wish to first draw your own conclusions you should stop reading
here. For everyone else, let's jump in.

Following a brief opening sequence where we see Jennifer
Lawrence standing in the middle of an inferno. What appears to be some sort of
mysterious jewel is set in place and we see a charred and blackened house magically
restored. Jennifer Lawrence's character awakens and immediately calls out to
her husband, played by Javier Bardem. We learn that he is a poet who is
struggling to write, while Lawrence busies herself with painting and renovating
their idyllic home. The rural setting of their house is apparently isolated
from the world, with Lawrence looking out at the surrounding fields and trees,
at peace with the world. Unfortunately, this peace is short …

Andrew Neiman (Miles Teller) is a talented drummer in his
first year at the prestigious Shaffer Music School. He is spotted while
practicing by Professor Fletcher (J.K. Simmons) and invited to join his jazz
group, rising to become the core drummer. He soon learns that Fletcher has a
unique teaching style, mostly involving terrifying his students, berating them,
being rude and abusive and excessively demanding. But Andrew's own desire to be
the best means that he is inclined to push himself to his limits to please Fletcher.
The film is a fantastic character study of two men with very
particular world views. Andrew believes that being the best at what you do is
the only thing that matters. He is in part attempting to get away from what he
sees as the mediocrity of his family, middle-grade jobs, and achievements of
personal importance though little wider social worth. His ideal is to be known
and respected as one of the greatest of all time. Fletcher is likewise on a
mission to find…
